Numerical in motion in a plane

How do you solve Numericals in motion in a plane?

Question 1: Given two points A = (-4, 6) and B = (5, 12), determine the position vector AB. Then, compute the displacement vector of the vector AB.

(a) 10i + 5j
(b) 4i - 6j
(c) 9i + 6j
(d) None of these
Answer:(c) 9i + 6j

Solution: Given, Point A = (-4, 6) and Point B = (5, 12)
Let the origin be O = (0, 0)
Position vector of A = OA = -4i + 6j
Position vector of B = OB = 5i + 12j
∴ Displacement vector = AB = OB - OA = 5i + 12j + 4i - 6j = 9i + 6j

Question 2: If the position vector of a particle is r = 2ti - 4j + k, the particle will be

(a) moving with uniform velocity
(b) stationary
(c) moving with uniform acceleration
(d) None of these
Answer:(a) moving with uniform velocity

Solution: => Postion vector given r=2ti -4j+k
=> diffrentiating with respect to time
=> dr/dt=2i
=> velocity=2i
Particle is moving with uniform velocity along x-axis.

Question 3: If the position vector of a particle is determined by the expression r = 3t²i + 4t²j + 7k. Find distance travelled in first 10 sec in meters.


(a) 400
(b) 500
(c) 600
(d) 50
Answer:(b) 500

Solution: r = 3t²i + 4t²j + 7k
Putting t = 0, we get
=> Initial position = r1 = 7k
Putting t = 10, we get
=> Final position = r2 = 300i + 400j + 7k
∴ Displacement of the particle = r2 - r1 = 300i + 400j + 7k - 7k = 300i + 400j
Magnitude of the displacement of the particle = √[(300)² + (400)²] = 500

Question 4: If the position vector of a particle is r = 2t²i - 4j + k, the particle will be

(a) moving with uniform velocity
(b) stationary
(c) moving with uniform acceleration
(d) None of these
Answer:(c) moving with uniform acceleration

Solution: => Postion vector given r = 2t²i - 4j + k
=> diffrentiating with respect to time
=> dr/dt = 4t
=> velocity = v = 4ti
=> dv/dt = 4i
Particle is moving with uniform acceleration along x-axis.

Question 5: A person initially at rest starts to walk 2 m towards north, then 1 m towards east, then 5 m towards south and then 3 m towards west. What is the position vector of the person at the end of the trip?

(a) -3i - 2j
(b) -2i - 3j
(c) 9i + 6j
(d) None of these
Answer:(b) -2i - 3j

Solution:

Let, the starting point of the person be O = (0, 0)

First he moves from O to A in North direction for 2 m.
∴Displacement vector of OA = 2j

Then he moves from A to B in East direction for 1 m.
∴Displacement vector of AB = 1i

Then he moves from B to C in South direction for 5 m.
∴Displacement vector of BC = -5j

Then he moves from C to D in West direction for 3 m.
∴Displacement vector of CD = -3i

So, the displacment vector of OD = 2j + 1i - 5j - 3i = -2i - 3j
Question 6: A person initially at rest starts to walk 2 m towards north - west at 30°, then 2 m towards east and then 3 m towards south. What is the position vector of the person at the end of the trip?

(a) -3i - 2j
(b) -2i - 3j
(c) (√(3) + 2)i - 2j
(d) None of these
Answer:(c) (√(3) + 2)i - 2j

Solution:

Let, the starting point of the person be A = (0, 0)
First he moves from A to B in North - West direction at 30° for 2 m.
∴Displacement vector of AB = 2cos30°i + 2sin30°j = √(3)i + j

Then he moves from B to C in East direction for 2 m.
∴Displacement vector of BC = 2i

Then he moves from C to D in South direction for 3 m.
∴Displacement vector of CD = -3j

So, the displacment vector of AD = √(3)i + j + 2i - 3j = (√(3) + 2)i - 2j
Question 7: A person moves 30 m North and then 20 m towards East and finally 30√2 m in South-West direction. The displacement of the person from the origin will be

(a) 10 m along North
(b) 10 m along South
(c) 10 m along West
(d) None of these
Answer:(c) 10 m along West

Solution:

Let, the starting point of the person be O = (0, 0)
First he moves from O to A in North direction for 30 m.
∴Displacement vector of OA = 30j

Then he moves from A to B in East direction for 20 m.
∴Displacement vector of AB = 20i

Then he moves from B to C in South - West direction for 30√2 m.
∴Displacement vector of BC = (30√2cos45°)i + (30√2sin45°)j = -30i - 30j

So, the displacment vector of OC = 30j + 20i - 30i - 30j = -10i

(d) Find the the position, the velocity, and the acceleration of the particle at t = 1s
Answer: a) Position vector at t time (r)= 18ti + [4t - (4.9)t²]j = 18ti + 4tj - (4.9)t²j
b) velocity = 22 - 9.8t
c) acceleration = - 9.8 ( It is not the function of t. It is constant retardation)
d) Position vector at 1 sec = 18i - 0.9j, Velocity at 1 sec = 12.2 unit/sec

Solution: Given, x = (18)t and y = 4t - (4.9)t²

a) Position vector at t time (r)= 18ti + [4t - (4.9)t²]j = 18ti + 4tj - (4.9)t²j
b) velocity (v)= dr/dt= 22 - 9.8t
c) acceleration (a)= dv/dt= - 9.8 ( It is not the function of t. It is constant retardation)
d) Position vector at 1 sec = 18i - 0.9j, Velocity at 1 sec = 12.2 unit/sec

Question 9:The position(x) of a particle at any time(t) is given by x(t)=4t³ +3t²+2, What will be the acceleration of the particle at any time t=2sec.

a) 16 m/s²
b) 12 m/s²
c) 54 m/s²
d) 20 m/s²
Answer: c) 54 m/s²

Solution: Given, x(t)=4t³ +3t²+2
velocity (v)=dx/dt=12t²+6t
Acceleration (a)=dv/dt= 24t+6
therefore At t=2 sec ,
Acceleration (a)= 24x2+6=54

Question 10: A particle moves along x-axis according to the equation x=u(t−2)+a(t−2)² . Which of below statement /statements is/are true?
i) Initial velocity of the particle is u.
ii) Acceleration of the particle is a.
iii) Acceleration of the particle is 2a.
iv) At t-2 sec, The particle is at orign.

a) i
b) ii
c) iii & iv
d) None of these
Answer: c) 54 m/s²

Solution: Given, x=u(t−2)+a(t−2)²
At t=2 sec ,
x=u(2−2)+a(2−2)²
x=0
At t-2 sec, The particle is at orign.
Given, x=u(t−2)+a(t−2)²
x=ut-2u+a(t²+4-4t)
x=ut-2u+at²+4a-4at)
dx/dt=v=2at-4a
dv/dt=2a
Acceleration of the particle is 2a.
So, (iii & iv) statements are true.

Answer: b) 2i+j

Solution:

From the given image, we get
F1 = 1j and F2 = 2i

∴Resultant vector = F1 + F2 = 2i + 1j
Question 14: Following foreces starts acting on an object at rest at origin of coordinate system simultanously
F1=-4i-5j-5k,
F2= 5i+8j+6k,

Solution: Given, F1=-4i-5j-5k, F2= 5i+8j+6k, F3=-3i+4j-7k, F4= 2i-3j-2k

Resultant force = r = F1 + F2 + F3 + F4 = (-4i-5j-5k) + (5i+8j+6k) + (-3i+4j-7k) + (2i-3j-2k) = 0i + 4j - 8k

So, the object will move in y-z plane.

Let, one side of the triangle be x.
So the second side will also be x.
And the third side is x√2.

This is only possible when the triangle is right angled isosecles trinagle.

Then, the angle between vector AB and vector BC = 90°, the angle between vector BC and vector CA = 135°, the angle between vector CA and vector AB = 135°
Question 16: The sum of two unit vectors is a unit vector.What is the angle between them.

a) 30°
b) 45°
c) 90°
d) 120°
Answer: d) 120°

Solution: Let two unit vectors a, and b, whose sum is also a unit vector c and angle between them is θ.
a + b = c and |a| = |b| = |c| = 1
Now, we know that magnitude of the sum of vector a and vector b is:
|a + b|² = |a|² + |b|² + 2 |a||b|cosθ
Substituting the values we get:
1 = 1 + 1 + 2 (1x1 cosθ)
cosθ = -½ = cos 120°
θ = 120°

Question 17: The sum of two unit vectors is a unit vector.What is the magnitutde of diffrence of vector.

d) None of these
Answer: b) √3

Solution: Let two unit vectors a, and b, whose sum is also a unit vector c and angle between them is θ
a + b = c and |a| = |b| = |c| = 1
Now, we know that magnitude of the sum of vector a and vector b is:
|a + b|² = |a|² + |b|² + 2 |a||b|cosθ
Substituting the values we get:
1 = 1 + 1 + 2 (|a||b|cosθ)
|a||b|cosθ = -½ ---------------Eqn 1
Magnitude of their difference is given by:
|a - b|² = |a|² + |b|² - 2 |a||b|cosθ
Substituting the values |a||b|cosθ from Eqn 1 we get:
|a - b|²=1 + 1 - 2 x -½ = 3
|a - b| = √3
